Good effort Wolves, good save for a corner.

HT. 0-1

Great 1st half. Haven't seen them live for quite a while but very impressed.

We've played some very tidy football so far.
Makeshift front two pairing, I think we'd be well ahead with Richardson and Harker up top.
Still, it's good to see our neat passing game.

Helm does indeed look a good prospect. Seems very assured when in possession. The fulcrum of the team.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 7:56 pm

Tucker looks good as well.

Not seen you live for quite a while either

Finding it a bit disconcerting that the pro wolves commentator sounds like a subdued Phil Bird

Spent HT checking them out on the players page.
Vaughan and Helm are 20yo
Rooney and Dodgson are 18yo.
The remainder are 19, all playing very well for U23 level.

Helm and Tucker the stand out players.

Would like to think Helm is really pushing for a bit of first team game time

Haven't seen Mancini for quite a while but would expect him to be ahead of Helm.

Brilliant block on the line from Williams. Ben Mee would've been proud of that!

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:22 pm

Their MF is taking over. Fresh legs needed.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:22 pm

Just checked in and we're getting a bit of a mauling at present. Once again passing
seems to be alien to Burnley players.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

That’s been coming.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

Our ability to go backwards is second to none. Sorry for the negativity, but it's only
what I'm seeing tonight.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

Inevitably conceded, they have been all over us this last ten mins.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

1-1 but we should be 3 down. Missed the first half but second has been one way traffic

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:27 pm

Yep that goal was on the cards. He took it well mind you.

There's not been a lot wrong with our passing! They've just massively upped their game this half.

Fair comment, must admit, I've not been watching for long. I stand corrected.

Derby all over again

Daft now

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:36 pm

Burnley's half is a pea souper at the minute.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:36 pm

Yep! that fog descended very quickly didn't it. Brings back lots of memories.

Farcical now

Wolves paid £8m 2 years ago for that Jordao.

Flixtonclaret1 · Post by **Flixtonclaret1** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:39 pm

Time to slip an extra couple of players on

“Goalkeeper’s come a long way out of his penalty area”
SHOOT!

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:45 pm

Why can't they just call it a drawe?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:45 pm

Should just be abandoned as a draw. It really is insane

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:47 pm

30 secs to end the misery!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:47 pm

Why no long shots?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:48 pm

Good call by ref eventually

Because they couldn't see the goals

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:49 pm

Comms complaining about AL not being able to see to give offside but it is never as bad at pitch level as it is from the back of the stand.
Ref blows it dead bang on 90mins.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:49 pm

I've been in a meeting tonight and only seen, and I use the word seen with caution, the final 15 minutes. Absolute nonsense to continue in those conditions.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:50 pm

Second game I have watched, don’t see anyone pushing for a first team place any time soon.

Exactly what I was thinking

Continually when we have possession half way into their half we pass it back half way into our half, give it away and then there’s gap between our midfield and defence

Just like the first team

If that’s tactics, then there in lies part of our problem

Haven’t the foggiest what your talking about

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:52 pm

Only caught the 2nd half, but it sounds like we enjoyed the better of the 1st, and Wolves enjoyed the better of the 2nd, so a draw is probably fair.

At least the youngsters try to play football, and that's encouraging, but on that brief evidence none of them are remotely close to a 1st team start, bench possibly if we're really stretched.

So many players missing currently - hard to judge

He does look a class act, and given Wolves aren't shy in blooding youngsters it wouldn't surprise me if he featured for them before the season's out.
